Tyson Foods has given two top executives expanded roles, according to a Tuesday (Feb. 25) filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Springdale-based meat giant named Devin Cole as group president of poultry, succeeding Wes Morris who is stepping down. Morris will remain with the company to assist in the transition and plans to retire early next year.

In addition to his new role, Cole will continue to oversee the company’s international and global McDonald’s businesses, which are jobs he has held since early 2024. He will report to CEO Donnie King. Cole has more than 22 years at Tyson Foods, and management positions at Keystone Foods and George’s Inc. of Springdale where he spent seven years as chief operating officer.
